ville bridge. and. deputations from the
.town of Wingham and the town ot
Goderioh addressed the council with
reference to the securing of an annual
grant from the county to the hospitals
in theca two towns.
It was decided to grant $400 each to
the Wingham and Goderioh hospitals,
a nd also $400 to Dr. Gunn's hospital at
Clinton,
Another matter of considerable inn
port ante which is engaging the atten-
tion of the council is the question of
securing a share of the Provincial good
r Dads apportionment, The report of the
committee appointed to interview the
Provincial Government to see what
could be done in securing this money to
assist in bridge building instead of road
improvement was as follows:.
The undersigned appointed by you at
the session of council in December, 1007,
to interview the Provinoial Government
with reference to obtaining certain
amendments to the aot for the improve-
ment of public highways, beg leave to
report as follows:
We met in Goderioh and in connection
with the clerk collected and
prepared detailed data in connection
with the old country gravel roe system
and the expenditure thereon, We also
had a map prepared, showing the cote -Ay
gravel roads, both with and those with-
out tolls. We then, together with the
clerk, and the three local members, viz„
Messrs. Eilber, Cameron and Hislop, had
aninterview
r ie withtheProvin-
cialinthe Hon. P ry
cial Treasurer, and the Hon, the Minister
of Public Works. We showed them
that this county, in 18.66, borrowed on
debentures $400,000 at 6 per cent. to
build gravel roads, that a company,
with money (chiefly furnished by the
town of Qoderieh, built the northern
gravel road, and that this road was
afterwards purchased by the county;
that additional sums, amounting aria to
about $100,000, were expended about
this period; that altogether there was
expended upon the gravel roads, im-
mediately following that time, a sum
totalling nearly $6,000,000; and that the
county is still owing a balance of this
money. We also showed that the oonnty
has takers the toll gates off and made
free roads. We:pressed upon the Minis-
ters the justice of our claim to be al-
lowed to participate in the fund for
having done fifty years ago what other
counties are getting Government assis-
tance for doing now. The ministers ex-
pressed themselves as being satisfied that
we had made out a case for exceptional
treatment, but the act would have to -be'
amended before anything could be done,
and advised ns to have our council pre-
pare each amendment to the act ad
would cover our special case, and submit
the same as early as possible.
J. T. Currie (warden).
WIn. Holmes (treasurer).
Goderioh, Jan. 28, 1908.
The proposal now, however, is to
designate certain roads in the county for
improvement under the present Good
Roads Ad, including spurs running off
these roads to take in as many as possible
of the count id
y br ee g that need rebuild-
ing, and for the first year or two to spend
most of the grant in the building of
bridged. The following motion was:

A good sough syrup is made of lemon
j nice, rook candy, butter and licorice.
Any amount may be used, and should
be melted before placing in the bottle for
use.
In making bands on children's under-
wear it is a good idea to allow an inch.
at e ach end to tarn back before making
the buttonhole, as this makes the band
mush stronger and there will be less
,tearing of the garments.
Neat lacedoaps for babies are made by
using white lace allover, drawing in the
fullness at the bank with ribbon run
through a tiny hem. Theedges• of the
bonnets are trimmed with lace ruffles,
while the long strings are made of fine
lace insertion about three inches wide.
To make pretty pen wipers—Seleot
two leather postal cards and make leaves
of soft white :flannel or chamois and
fasten all together with ribbon run
